Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the Db major side because it comes to rest on Db and Db is heard 8 times while Bbm never appears. That is an interpretation, not a rule — hearing the same chords from Bb minor is just as valid and teaches you something different.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Db or to Bbm; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.
Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

The key pair is Db major and its relative Bb minor (5 flats). 7 different chords appear 42 times in total; 7 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. Everything stays inside one scale, which is why the song is easy to follow by ear.
The move to watch is Ab → Dbmaj7, heard 2 times. From the Db side it reads V → Imaj7 (authentic cadence: the strongest arrival home); from the Bbm side it is VII → IIImaj7. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The opening Gbmaj7 lays a solid floor for everything that follows. Fm7, Gbmaj7, Dbmaj7, Ebm7 carry the song: iii7–IVmaj7–Imaj7–ii7 relative to Db, v7–VImaj7–IIImaj7–iv7 relative to Bbm. No chord leaves the shared scale, so a single pentatonic shape works over the whole song. Keep an ear on Ab → Dbmaj7 (V → Imaj7 in Db, VII → IIImaj7 in Bbm): authentic cadence — the strongest arrival home. Ending on Dbmaj7, the song seals Db as home.
This analysis is generated from the song's chords by akorculuk's harmony engine using consistent rules. When you change key, the degrees stay the same; only the chord names change.
